I was thinking after the meeting last month that it would be handy to have a
dedicated IndyLUG PC in the barn, hooked up to the Internet (using Steve's phone
line, of course :) ) It would keep us out of Kim's hair, and make it easier to
do PC-centric activities ad hoc. If we can bring together enough scrap equipment,
I'll put one together.
I can probably supply:
a fuzzy 14" monitor
a CD-ROM drive
a floppy drive
a keyboard
a cheap mouse
a socket 7 AMD K6 433MHz CPU
a computer desk (do we need one, or would Steve prefer to use something he
already has out there?)
Windows 98 and/or Linux (anybody prefer a certain flavor?)
That would leave:
a socket 7 motherboard OR a different motherboard with CPU
RAM (at least 64MB)
a modem
a hard drive
a video card
a case and power supply (has to be compatible with the motherboard)
a USB interface might be nice so we can download images from our cameras on the spot.
a printer?
I also have a extra 100MB Iomega ZIP drive. Does anyone see a use for that?
Let me know what you think.

| (...) I just happened to come across a HP Pavilion 8240 today in the neighbors trash. I remember brian mentioning he needed the case so I grabbed it. The computer is a 233Mhz intel Pentium Processor, 32mb sdram memory (might be missing), 4gb hard (...) (21 years ago, 24-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.us.indylug)
